John:
I agree with you. Equis' manuals and on line help are about the best that
I have seen. The tech support is also better than most if not better than
any other.
Now if Equis would put in a better formula language and a user friendly
interface to VB, or VC and to Excel. I'd be happy as a clam.
Many of the complaints would be resolved it Metastock would include
something like TAS. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for this kind
of utility that is fully Win 98/2000/NT compatible.
